It will probably be 3 women sailors this time. Courtesy the silver ahead of China and Thailand in AG 2018 in 49er FX. 

I was guessing about atheletics..... What does the group feel

Quotas in Greco-Roman wrestling?? When did this happen?

 

We have only 4 quotas in wrestling (3 FS men and 1 FS women)

This is the best possible guesstimate.....

Yes actually we should be talking about the size of the olympic Squad of India by now with just 4 months left ......

 

 

 

I think In 2016 we had the largest olympic team of all time ....This time I feel we will have more  ............... The good thing is India is  active in over 272 events ....... ( when I say active we have at least a top 100 individual player or a top 30 team in the following sports )( left out completely those we are not so active in, I believe by Paris 2024 we will definitely have quota places in those marked black like track cycling or sprint canoeing ) 

 

The variance tells us sports we have got better in or worse in ( except atheletics where I believe the lowered number is because of a reduction in quotas ) 

 

 

  Events  2016 2020 variance
         
Swimming 37 2 2 0
Archery 5 4 6 2
Atheletics 48 34 20 -14
Badminton 5 7 7 0
Womens Boxing  5 0 5 5
Mens Boxing  8 3 7 4
Canoeing Sprint  12     0
Cycling Track   12     0
Equistrian  6 0 1 1
Fencing  12 0 1 1
field Hockey  2 32 32 0
Golf  2 3 3 0
Gymnastics  14 1 0 -1
Judo  15 1 1 0
Rowing  14 1 2 1
Sailing  10 0 1 1
Rifle shooting  5 5 7 2
Pistol Shooting  5 4 7 3
Shotgun Shooting  5 3 2 -1
Table tennis 5 4 4 0
Taekwondo 8     0
Tennis 5 4 2 -2
weightlifting 14 2 2 0
Freestyle Men Wrestling 6 2 5 3
Freestyle women Wrestling  6 3 5 2
Greco Men wrestling  6 2 3 1
  272 117 125 8

 

I too agree on the overall number but still would nitpick on few numbers. For example, do you really think we can qualify a team in Women's Archery. I really don't trust Deepika Kumari and co. Also we will qualify 4 golfers. 7 players in Badminton is a long shot now unless the qualifying period is extended which it should as many events in April is suspended. Biggest regret so far definitely is Table Tennis team qualification, hope we clinch it in 2024.

Can you elaborate who do you see qualifying in Taekwondo and Canoeing in 2024

I think Taekwondo and canoeing are sports where we have started to get Asian level medals in the last couple of years albeit in non Olympic categories.... I think we can improve further

 

In canoeing Gaurav tomar and Namita Chandel are doing well, I think C-2 ( gaurav with salam) may be a good bet for us with some improvement 

 

Latika and Naveen have medalled at the Asian level..... Latika had been a top 25 in the world taekwondo athelete ( in 53 a non Olympic category and a top 50 athelete in 57) .Rudali is also doing well .. I feel that if we improve further we can get a top 25 player in an Olympic category in which case we should have a quota place......

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
